Writing, Joy, Meaning – Rethinking Text and Purpose, Magnus Linton
Taking the step from the academic writing template to essayistic prose is very much a question of rethinking one’s ideas about a text´s meaning. What is discouraged in a peer review article may be considered stylistically appropriate in writing aimed for wider publics. Whichlinguistic features typical of today’s academic writing should be avoided when the aim is to communicate with wider audiences? Magnus Linton, non-fiction writer and editor at the Institute for Futures Studies, elaborates seven crucial points in his book Text and Style – Using Science in storytelling. Room Sh128.
